The blue morpho is among the largest butterflies in the world, with wings spanning from five to eight inches. Their vivid, iridescent blue coloring is a result of the microscopic scales on the backs of their wings which reflect light. This beautiful depiction was painted by the French botanist Charles Dessalines D' Orbigny in the 19th century.

These decoupaged shells are hand-crafted with a fine level of detail. Images are carefully set on a base of white paint and sealed with multiple layers of lacquer to give a refined porcelain feel and look to them. A delicate edging of liquid gold leaf gives the finishing touch. Shell backs are left in their beautiful and natural state. These shells are thoroughly cleaned with soap and water - no harsh chemicals used.

* ABOUT OUR SHELLS
Size: These shells range in width from 4.0" to 5.5"

Ethically Sourced. We only use shells that have washed up on beaches naturally. Their former inhabitants have moved out. We never kill or harm any animals to get their shells. We also donate a portion of our proceeds to The Marine Fish Conservation Network as a way of giving back for the abundance and beauty our oceans so generously provide.

Please keep in mind that each shell is unique and was once home to a little animal. Any 'imperfections' in the shell should be seen as a badge of honor of this creature's journey from the deep to your door. The pictures are examples of the patterns only. Your shell will be 100% one-of-a -kind and the only one on the planet that will look exactly like yours.

Finished shell fronts are waterproof but it is recommended that shells not be immersed in water. Clean shells by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth.
